i am less wobbly today. i had a very magical night’s sleep last night (8.5 hrs, didn’t wake once, woke at 8 am feeling like a million dollars). also, sunday long run = good times.
today i think i’m going to go ahead with the plans to work for the new company. I’ve been wanting to make this third hobby-job a bigger part of my life and this new contract has been dropped in my lap by a referral. i think all of the flashing indicators are saying “go this way” and thus i am going to follow along and see where it goes.
I am also ramping up my regular job work stuff now that it’s september; i send out emails and clients respond. I will be teaching again, and will be happy to be on the phone with people (in English!) starting in just a few weeks.
what did i learn yesterday?
I learned from Mrs D that my heightened nervousness might be new-sober-emotions and not to be feared. I learned from Paul that i’m focusing too much on the consequences of failure and not enough on the likelihood of failure (which is admittedly small). I learned (again) that i’m a girl who likes a clean house. I learned (thanks so much) that 8.5 hrs is enough sleep if i sleep through the night without waking! yeah! hooray! I learned that I love waking at 8 am … I learned that a big drumming group performing outdoors gives me the shivers (encountered one today on my long run). I learned that even on Sundays, the husband can say “i think i’m going to work a full day today” and instead of moaning that it’s sunny and he should do something with me, i have learned over time that if he feels like working – he should work. Motivation ebbs and flows for everyone. If he wants to work on a hot sunny sunday, who am i to argue! it’s not what i would do, but he’s not a sun whore like i am.
that said, me, this girl, i am going out to sit in the sun and read my book and plot to change the world. happy sunday : )
Hi Belle, read your post yesterday and thought I needed to give some thought before responding. Come back today and its crisis averted and there’s this happy post! Which makes me happy too. xx
and you were originally going to say “don’t take the chance belle. better to be safe than sorry” : ) I wonder if that’s what I would have said to me …
I AM pretty cautious – dont you know me well? But probably would have given you the “whatever feels right for you” line. Puts it ALL back in your camp! 🙂
cautious? see, I knew we were twins. “whatever feels right for you” … yeah, I’m never quite polite enough to say that, I often just wade in with my own opinions … I have lots to learn from you : )
what a great post to read first thing in the morning…as my dad use to say…’go get ’em’! enjoy your day!
